Through her role as author and podcast host of "The Tao of Self-Confidence," she has engaged with over 900 Asian female leaders, reshaping our understanding of leadership and self-confidence in professional settings.

In our conversation, she shares insights into managing her time and projects, highlighting how she continually cultivates confidence to inspire and empower others.
